THE TOURIST CROP.
The Money Dropped In Portland and
Vicinity In Summer.


Names 'best hold" is said to be her hay
crop. but of late years the tourist crop has
proved OF solid benefit. This season the ex-
traordinary hot weather has driven people to
her sea shore and mountain resorts in
swarms as well as to the fayorite country re.
treats.
To get some idea of the heat these tourists
have suffered from at home it is only neces-
sary to refer to one former Portlander, now
resident Of Jersey, who is cooling off al
Harpswell. He had decided to stay at home
this summer. His house is generally cool
and has plenty of air circulating about in it.
This year he says the heat has been perfect
ly fendish. The family retired at night with
every window open, and without even a
sheet to cover them, and, If little doze was
obtained. when the sleepers awakened their
night dresses were saturated with perspira-
tion. The debility endured was so great that
although the gentleman could i'll afford it, he
raised money enough to bring the famny
east to Harpswell. The first relief obtained
was when they struck the fog off Scarboro
marshes, and the gentleman said they had
rather eat fog all the summer than stand
such furnace as they had left. Now this
gentleman is only one OF the vast throng
now sojourning in this vicinity, driven hither
Tor the same reason.
At Pine Point one Portland family had
eighteen applications from western families
for their cottage, and at whatever rent they
should demand. but the family declined with
thanks. The cottagers are as well supplied
with all the luxuries as well as necessaries
of life as If they lived in the city. Men now
make business Of bringing all things need
ed to the door, and even hot peanuts, Or
anges and bananas can:be procured on the
beach.
AT Old Orchard, Portland cottager states
the hotels are. and have been doing much
larger business than for several seasons. A
trader at that place puts out on an average
$1,000 day in supplying groceries to the cot
tagers and the camp-ground and campers.
This does not include the great quantities
used by the hotels which are supplied by the
Portland merchants. A man who owns two
horses and cart, and employs two men, is
kept on the keen jump moving trunks and
furniture, etc. for campers and cottagers and
expects his'average earnings for the season
will be $50 day.
AT the islands in Portland harbor great
quantities Of supplies have to be forwarded
from the city. notonly for the use of the
people from town-whose city. houses are
slosed-but also for the large number of out
OF the State summer residents-from the
west and Canada-whose trade Is of course
additional to what would be obtained from
our own people.
In the city the hotels profit immensely by
this summer business. Every day now they
are filed to overfowing. The six houses,
from the Falmouth to the Eagle, fill every
room at night and make up cots in the par
lors and billiard rooms, while the boarding
houses obtain their full share Of the trade

A MORMON EXODUS.
Latter Day Saints Who Are Anxious
to Leave Utah.

OTTAWA, Aug. BIN the neighborhood of
100 Mormons from Salt Lake City are maxi
ing application to the Dominion government
for homestead lands in the vicinity of Medi
cine Hat with view to forming a settlement
of the faithful. The matter is now under
consideration as to whether it is desirable to
encourage the immigration of that class of
settlers, the minister of justice strongly OPP
posing the Introduction into the country of
such sect. Referring to the matter the OF
tawa News says:
The experience of the American government in
dealing with the people of Utah ought TO make
our government extremely cautious about insist
ing on the observance of our laws at the outset as
the only condition on which their presence will be
tolerated. If they ever obtain a local ascendency
and are able to manage things their own way, it
will be matter Of great difficulty to assert the
supremacy of the law.

Kentucky Bound to be Democratic

The election news from Kentucky calls to
mind little story dating from the time when
roll up a Democratic majority Of sixty to
eighty thousand. A Republican and Demo-
crat met on the street, and became engaged
in warm controversy about the election,
the Democrat, all the while, anxious to bet
lists and said: "Ah! my dear friends, am
sorry to see you wasting precious time dis
putting about the presidency. / tell you be-
fore six months expires the Lord will be the
only President Of these United States. The
